Let's be honest: the Reggae Boyz' playoff heartbreak still stings, and watching a World Cup without Jamaica takes some adjusting. But here is the good news — the Caribbean is at this tournament, twice over, and they are ours to cheer.
Haiti are back for the first time in 52 years, a young diaspora-built side led by Premier League names like Wilson Isidor. Curaçao — population under 160,000 — have qualified for the first time ever, with Tahith Chong among their ranks.
When the Boyz aren't there, the region's flag is carried by our neighbours. Haiti against Scotland and Curaçao against Germany belong on every Jamaican's must-watch list. Star them on your list and find a watch party to roar them on.
